It appears Bell has been texting its customers asking for feedback, asking how likely they would recommend the company based on “overall experience” with their services. The scale was from one to five, with one being “Not at all” and five being “Definitely”.

When one supporter of OpenMedia, the non-profit group dedicated to “keep the Internet open, affordable, & surveillance-free,” responded with a dismal ‘one’ rating, the Bell bot or human responded “Is there anything we can do to make your experience better?”

That’s when the OpenMedia supporter said “Not be an oligopolistic exploiter of a captive audience. Be chill with MNVOs. Support a subsidy pool for rural broadband. Not buy MTS.” Ouch.

Despite this response, the most likely automated responder just said “Thank you for your feedback.”

Interesting. On a totally separate train of thought…so ya what’s with the new adult ummmm dating site ads….Just had an ad from Get Naughty appear lol. Not that I really care one way or the other was a bit surprising to see here though 😉
